Police are searching for a group of armed men who attempted to burgle a house in Barnsley wearing balaclavas.
The suspects entered an address on Cumberland Road on Sunday evening and made demands of the occupants, South Yorkshire Police said.
Two men were left with minor injuries and damage was caused to nearby homes and vehicles.
Police said they believed the incident was linked to a firearms discharge later the same evening.
Gunshots were reportedly fired on nearby Cumberland Close, in the Hoyland area, at about 21:59 BST.
Det Insp Claire Moss said officers were "working round the clock to establish what happened" and asked for any members of the public with information to come forward.
"We take gun crime extremely seriously and it simply will not be tolerated," she added.
